Driving Solutions Through
Trusted Local Voices
While bird-glass collisions are a global conservation issue, solutions almost always gain traction through community-led advocacy.
Our partners bring regional knowledge, conservation experience, professional networks, and community credibility to the work of making buildings safer for birds.
These partners help raise awareness of bird-window collisions, support conversations with key regional stakeholders, and connect architects, developers, municipalities, conservation groups, tourism operators, and community leaders with proven mitigation solutions. Their work helps bridge the gap between conservation concern and practical action.
"Each partner brings a distinct background — from birding and ecotourism to architecture, public policy, art, consulting, and environmental advocacy. All share a commitment to reducing preventable bird deaths and promoting design choices that better protect wildlife."
